Joe Biden says us MAGA Republicans are fascist. I don't think he knows what the word means. So, what is fascism?
1. often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control.
That's a pretty good working definition. So, let's explore.
How about when Biden, in April 2021 tried to extend his eviction moratorium, knowing that it was unconstitutional? Breaking the law by executive fiat. Does that sound like fascism?
Or, how about ignoring our immigration law and allowing unrestricted illegal migration? Ignoring the law and using executive fiat. Does that sound like fascism.
How about weaponizing the FBI and using it as a cudgel against political opposition? Can you say stasi? That sounds like fascism.
Or, how about quietly beginning a program to counter something called domestic misinformation? This, from Auguest 2022.
When Joe Biden talks about fascism, he knows from whence he speaks. But, it's projection. He knows fascism first hand, because he is in charge of it.
